Please inform the villagers that no one is to approach here, or they shall face the wrath of the skeletal soldiers.
Fong How reiterated with semity.
Understood.
I shall convey the message immediately.
Petty acknowledged with a nod.
Recognizing the seriousness of Fongo's tone, she exited to instruct the residents to steer clear of the clan leader hall.
Meanwhile, the skeletal soldiers stationed in Pigman village dispatched 500 of their ranks to encircle the entire clan leaders hall.
Should a confrontation arise, the skeletons would be able to hold their ground for a while, allowing Fong how to regain his composure swiftly, having arranged everything, Fongo reclined upon the bed and entered the state of divine possession.
Divine target, skeletal soldier compatibility, 88.
He then merged with one of the skeletal soldiers and stroed purposefully out of the hall.
Upon stepping outside, he encountered Bolton, who had been waiting silently.
Bolton, we may commence our journey.
Chapter 75.
Enveloped in mist, Bolton possessed a remarkable aptitude for navigation.
Without the need for any maps, he could effortlessly recall every location with clarity.
He was acutely aware of where detours were necessary and where monster strongholds lay.
Upon departing from the Pigman village, the large contingent advanced westward, traversing through woods and valleys.
The startled beasts, after emitting a few furious roars, quickly retreated, steering clear of the formidable army composed of bones.
At long last, amid the prolonged journey, the group entered the ruins.
A distinct barrier formed between the remnants of the city and the surrounding forest.
Behind them lay a lush, verdant woodland, while ahead stretched a desolate expanse devoid of flora.
In the distance, the remnants of a city came into view.
Its walls mostly collapsed with a few resilient weeds sprouting amidst the rubble and decayed wood, introducing a touch of green to the gray and white surroundings.
"My lord, we have indeed entered the ruins," Bolton remarked.
Fong Hao, not lacking in perception, recognized the stark difference between this place and the world beyond.
"What about the elemental creatures you mentioned?" Fong Ho inquired.
Curiosity peaked.
A glance around revealed, "No sign of such beings.
Not even a solitary mouse was in sight.
My lord, if we venture closer, they will appear.
Bolton replied hastily.
Fongghao nodded and gestured towards a fortunate skeleton soldier, instructing, "Go scout ahead.
" The skeleton stepped forth from the ranks and marched ahead with purpose.
After advancing approximately 200 m, a thick mist suddenly enveloped the area.
The fog, swirling like smoke, shrouded the scouting skeleton.
Fongghow furrowed his brow, scrutinizing the mist.
Just then, with a crackling sound, several streaks of lightning surged through the fog, striking the scouting skeleton.
Its body was sent flying, and upon landing, it lay in a shattered heap of bones, vanquished in an instant.
A weight of dread settled in Fong's heart.
Even when encountering a seventh tier ogre, the armored skeleton soldiers could withstand a blow.
Yet here, against the creatures hidden within the mist, one was obliterated without a second thought.
Attack! Eliminate them.
Fongghao commanded decisively.
The creatures within the mist launched formidable assaults, though their numbers were not overwhelming.
Fongghao strategy was straightforward.
Overwhelming numbers against a few, strength against weakness.
As for tactics and cunning, well, those skills were not yet required.
Tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers accompanied by one 100 skeletal trolls surged past Fong How and Bolton.
Their heavy footsteps resonating through the air.
The cacophony of bones scraping together and armor clashing filled the battlefield.
The sea of white skeletons charged into the mist.
Crackling sounds erupted as bolts of electricity shot from the fog, relentlessly striking the skeletons.
Fortunately, the skeletal trolls, being colossal in stature, withtood the impact without being instantly vanquished.
In contrast, the ordinary skeleton soldiers remained vulnerable, succumbing to the onslaught with every strike.
Soon, the skeletal army surged into the mist, forcefully driving the creatures within into the open, revealing them to Fonghouse gaze.
Element of air, fifth rank.
description.
Residual magical dust accumulates and coaleses to form the element of air which in a conducive environment displays an extraordinary and terrifying power.
The element of air materialized like a gathering of clouds.
Its upper body revealing the contours of a human form.
While its lower half resembled floating wisps of fog, it bore a striking resemblance to the scene of the genie from animated tales.
The appearance of the element of air took Fong how by surprise as he had anticipated that elemental beings would adhere to the five classical elements metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The emergence of the element of air compelled him to reconsider his previous notions, suggesting that perhaps this world did not conform to established paradigms.
Bang bang bang.
The elements of air engaged in a fierce battle with the skeletal ogres.
Fortunately, the elements of air were indeed biological entities, not mere ethereal mists.
They could sustain damage from the mighty axes, emitting anguished roars of pain.
Sizzle.
In the distance, one element of air was forcibly ejected from the mist by five skeletal ogres.
With a gaseous arm pointed forward, it unleashed a strike that flashed like a lightning serpent, striking one ogre and then swiftly spreading to hit two others.
The three struck skeletal ogres momentarily stiffened and smoke rose from the impacted areas.
However, the skeletal ogres merely absorbed some damage before raising their battle axes high and cleaving down upon the element of air.
The five axes fell with relentless frequency, ultimately obliterating the element of air, which dissipated into a wisp of smoke, gradually vanishing into the air.
The battle raged on.
roar.
As the last element of air was completely vanquished, the obscuring mist around them began to dissipate.
"Are there other creatures?" Fonghow inquired of Bolton, who stood nearby.
"Huh? I have no idea.
We were all blocked from seeing by these elements of air.
" Bolton promptly replied, "Their inability to overcome these elemental beings naturally left them unaware of any remaining monsters within.
" Fongghow nodded and instructed the skeletal soldiers to search for any nearby treasures or loot.
Before long, a skeletal soldier approached, bearing a silver chest and striding forward with purpose.
With a thud, it dropped the chest at Fong Ho's feet.
Upon seeing the chest, Fongo's spirits lifted.
Even before entering the ruins of the city, he had already acquired a treasure.
As he opened the chest, he discovered acquired skill scroll of misty veil, skill scroll of elemental summoning, trace of the sky to 87 battle coins.
In total, there were three rewards, two of which were airtight magic.
This revelation thrilled Fong Ha, nearly prompting him to leap for joy.
Ever since he consumed the potion of magical revelation, he had been able to learn various magical skills.
Now having obtained two more spells, his self-preservation capabilities were significantly enhanced.
With a 100-fold amplification, the strength of the territory has become formidable.
Given sufficient time to consolidate his forces, Fongo could contend with all nearby factions.
However, a glaring vulnerability remains.
His power is still insufficient.
Should an assassination attempt or other targeted tactics arise, he would find himself at a significant disadvantage.
Therefore, fortifying his own abilities to enhance his survival prospects is equally as crucial as the development of the territory.
These two aspects are precisely the capabilities he requires.
Suppressing his exhilaration, he begins to examine the rewards he has obtained.
Shrouded in mist category air magic level tier three magic ability.
The mist envelopes the battlefield, reducing enemy visibility by 75 and lowering morale by 15.
